>Description:

As the description in stdio.h indicates, FOPEN_MAX should be equal to
_POSIX_STREAM_MAX in limits.h.  Instead, FOPEN_MAX=20 and _POSIX_STREAM_MAX=8.
The correct value, according to sysconf(_SC_STREAM_MAX), is 20, so
_POSIX_STREAM_MAX is wrong.

>How-To-Repeat:

N/A

>Fix:
	
Patch /usr/include/limits.h as follows:
50c50
< #define       _POSIX_STREAM_MAX       8
---
> #define       _POSIX_STREAM_MAX       20
